Word origin
The word 'honeydew' originated from the Old English term 'hunigdew', which literally translates to 'honeydew'. It is believed to have been used to describe the sweet, sticky substance excreted by aphids, resembling honey. Over time, the term was also applied to the sweet, juicy melon we now know as honeydew.
